Agree with your wonderful writeup .
Its the paragraph below where I see red ...
[Turning point comes, he takes another breath and it hits him - what it could mean if he answers why, if he confesses. I love the way he looks down and begins to frown, as if suddenly a heavy weight hits him. He isn't ready to take that step or he's not ready for what it means if he takes that step ... that "what if?!" and he gulps and thr ASR in him wins and answers coarsely instead. "Tumhari har sawal ka jawab dehna zaroori nahin hai." and stalks out of there! ]
He looks down and begins to frown as if suddenly ... no he can't admit when someone's around
His demeanor changes and his body tenses up ; walking briskly out of there
he almost, nearly almost deliberately brushed past the eavesdropper acknowledging him as "Jijaji" ...
Perhaps, just perhaps he knows or he suspects or he always knew. That is why it was important for him that Khushi accepts his bangles and that she be smitten. This may be the path for his deal - win/win situation.
ASR aka Arnav loves Khushi - he will not accept it to give her the pleasure or joy of requited love. Especially when his sister's husband is smitten by Khushi.
It is also important for ASR to find out where Khushi's loyalties lay - being a shrewd businessman he must've found out about her EXfiancee - that would help him save his sister's marriage.
For Anjali's sake he would never admit/accept his love to Khushi . While Khushi either by being forced in marriage or unraveling in the past will be unable to hate him.
